We are church member. We like the school culture very much.

I went to see the school and love the hall outside the office very much. So beautiful!

Hi Yusim

I must say that the school is very nice and hope my son will be happy there too. Though I'm not Christian but the number of years there I got to understand more of the religion.

Hi there,

Happy to share, as always :D.

The school will be mailing out to you a letter to brief you on the orientation and also the book list. You could choose to purchase books online or from the school and choose a collection date. If I remember correctly, there were no purchase of books on orientation day though, only PE attire. If you are kiasu like me, by Sep, I had already purchased her uniforms from the vendor in Toa Payoh, to avoid to last minute rush lah, and also scared out of stock. But PE attire can only be purchased from the school book shop. The letter I mentioned earlier will also state the \"house\" your child will be in, so you won't know until closer to orientation day. For myself, I've even ordered the name tag early as the school is close by, I just drop in one day and fill up the form for the order, took about 2 to 3 weeks to do. (note: if you also want to order early like me, remember to let the lady know that its for P1 next year as they used different colors for the different levels). The only \"advantage\" for me is that by first day of school, my daughter already has the name tag on her uniforms whilst her classmates has to wait a few weeks as they had only ordered during orientation day.

Now, on the school orientation. No worries, there are no tests etc. for the kids. The kids were asked to assemble at the concourse, in accordance to their respective classes (again this is made known in the letter). The kids will be shown to their respective classrooms and also shown around the school on its various facilities and rooms in the school like the toilets, library, AV room, dental clinic, sick bay, etc.

As for the parents, we were guided to the school hall, where the Principal will address all parents. We were briefed a little on the school, its achievement, etc. Then we were asked to proceed to a classroom to fill up the various forms, giro forms, enrichment forms, etc.

After which we were told to return to the school hall to meet our kids. That's about it, all in all, just 2 or 3 hours only.

Hope the above address your questions on the school orientation. Please feel free to check again if you have any other queries.

Cheers...

Hi Yusim,

A warm welcome to you to KCPPS too :lol:

No, my girl is in P1 this year. Ha...next year she'll have the chance to be the buddy of new P1 student. But she'll so petite, I'm afraid the P1 may hv to take care of her instead

Are you staying in Sembawang? I think one of my girl's classmate is staying in Sembawang too.
